It sets out the commercial and health information that must appear on labels (product identity, net content, manufacturer/importer data, nutrition information, legends, and — under later amendments — front-of-pack warning labels). Pet-food-specific labelling is additionally governed by the sector standard **NOM-062-ZOO-1999** (specifications for processed pet food), which was not obtained this session.\n\n## Honest gaps\n\n- Only the title, the table of contents / structure, and the publication date are reproduced verbatim; the detailed labelling specifications (Articles 4–7) were not exhaustively quoted (Spanish text, 83 KB).\n- The sector standard **NOM-062-ZOO-1999** (processed pet food) was not obtained this session and remains pending.\n","sources":["mexico-2026 — NORMA Oficial Mexicana NOM-051-SCFI/SSA1-2010 — Especificaciones generales de etiquetado para alimentos y bebidas no alcohólicas preenvasados (retrieved 2026-08-18)"],"source":{"authority":"mexico-2026","title":"NORMA Oficial Mexicana NOM-051-SCFI/SSA1-2010 — Especificaciones generales de etiquetado para alimentos y bebidas no alcohólicas preenvasados","url":"http://sitios.dif.gob.mx/dgadc/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/NOM-051-SCFI-SSA1-2010.pdf","retrieved":"2026-08-18","ref":"","doc_type":"official source","source_document":"NOM-051-SCFI/SSA1-2010 (Diario Oficial, 5 Apr 2010)","verification_file":"NORMA Oficial Mexicana NOM-051-SCFI/SSA1-2010, Especificaciones generales de etiquetado para alimentos y bebidas no alcohólicas preenvasados — Información comercial y sanitaria.
